You probably think as a general rule of thumb, brand new homes costs more than existing homes. But right now, that's backwards. This shows just how much.

A newly built home costs about $40k less than an existing one right now. That's because builders are cutting prices and piling on incentives to keep their inventory moving.

And that opens up a window for you to get brand new everything for less than you may expect.

DM me if you want a list of nearby new home communities offering deals like this right now to see if a new build may be in your budget after all.

Think New Homes Cost More? Not Right Now.

New homes may actually cost less than an existing home right now. And that’s opening up a window for you to get brand-new for less.

If you want a list of new home communities near you that are currently offering incentives or doing price cuts, let’s connect. That way you have someone in your corner helping you get the best deal possible.

Most people think a newly built home costs more than an existing one. But right now, that’s actually backwards.

The traditional mortgage playbook was written for a very specific type of borrower, and a lot of people who are completely ready to own a home have been falling outside of it for years. Business owners, retirees, real estate investors, and anyone whose income does not arrive in a neat and predictable package deserve a lending process that actually accounts for the way they live and earn.

Fairway just made that possible with an expanded in-house Non-QM platform built to meet borrowers where they are, not where a standard form wants them to be. More options, more flexibility, and a whole lot more people who finally get to hear yes.

Happy Closing Day Walt & Nicole! Congratulations on your hew home! I have been thinking a lot about chance encounters recently. This was certainly one of them. Let me set the scene:

The Kressler-Lapriore family is out on bicycles through the neighborhood on a warm summer evening. A van with a nice family slows down and the window rolls down.

It's Walt! Or so I come to find out later.

"Hi there, do you know where the home for sale is around here?"

From there my daughter Juliette proceeds to jump up and down and tell them they simply MUST work with her Papa. She enthusiastically delivers Walt my card.

A few days later, Walt reached out. Soon after that, we were getting to work on getting his family home.

These chance encounters don't always turn into something - but this one did. And I am so grateful. Enjoy your new home!

Thank you to Ashley Barry Ashley Barry and Ami Steinmetz Delgado Ami Steinmetz Delgado for a great transaction.

Such a great closing today Shannon Brandy Shannon Foglia Brandy at Cohen Closing & Title Cohen Closing & Title - thank you!!

Here's to chance encounters! Remember to celebrate them and pay attention to them when they appear.

Congratulations to all! 😊🎉

Lately, headlines have floated an eye-catching idea about tapping into your 401(k) to cover a down payment on a home.

Happy Closing Day Derick! Welcome home, my friend! As Derick reminded me today, we first met up in a Market Basket parking lot a couple years ago to discuss home buying. This is basically exactly how I would like to conduct business. So glad we crossed paths, and so grateful for the opportunity to help!

I was delighted to hear that Derick was working with Amy Jones Amy Jones, REALTOR®️ at the Gove Group The Gove Group Real Estate LLC. I knew she would do an awesome job - and she did! And I knew we would have a great time working together 😊 Excellent work Amy, and thank you for riding the rollercoaster with me.

Thanks for a great transaction Joshua Matthews Joshua Matthews - appreciate the communication right back!

A very fast Friday closing was handled masterfully by Shannon Brandy Shannon Foglia Brandy at Cohen Closing & Title Cohen Closing & Title. Thank you for all you do!

Thinking about selling, but worried your deal could fall apart before closing? Here's some perspective.

Most home sales still make it to the finish. And when one doesn't, the top reason is almost always inspection or repair issues. They play a part in more than 70% of deals that fall through.

But, luckily for you, inspection/repair issues are what you have the most power to prevent ahead of time. A pre-listing inspection lets you find and handle problems before a buyer's inspector ever does.

Ready to list? Let's talk about whether getting a pre-listing inspection makes sense for your house in our market.
